One BILLION people participated in this program that's only TWO years old? LOL! Guess they felt they could count all the undeveloped nations that DON'T HAVE ELECTRICITY OR ANY WAY TO KNOW ABOUT THIS STUPIDITY in the first place!

The Gaia Worshipers need to off themselves...just to set A Good Example for the rest of us. ;)

One of my favorite activities during “Earf Hour” is to drive around in my SUV with the headlights turned off.

My local Druid club will be offering human sacrifices during the blackout. Shhhhhhh! Don’t tell anyone!

STUPIDITY is right.

I will do what I did last year — turn on EVERY light in my home for an hour.

I turn on all the lights and crank the song Every Light in the House is On.

I like to idle the old two-stroke dirt bike for an hour and create huge clouds of blue smoke illuminated by lights from a diesel-fueled generator.

This was my “Earth Hour” in 2008 (I missed 2009):

In counter protest several people (including myself) have elected to turn EVERYTHING on.

25 100 Watt light bulbs
5 computers
2 televisions
2 dvd players
2 vcrs
playstation
stereo
Heater (it’s cold outside)
2 floor fans
3 cars idling
oven cooking dinner
and 500 Christmas lights (still haven’t taken them down)

And a wife that now thinks I’m insane.

Unfortunately I couldn’t run the lawn mower because if you let go of the handle it turns off. Was too lazy to duct tape the safety bar closed.

Unfortunately this year I have taken my Christmas lights down. Maybe I could talk my wife into letting me put them back up.

As usual, I will throw on the front flood lights and clean guns on the tailgate.....

I thought you’d go fly and pick yourself up a hundred dollar burger. :)

My favourite is to light a huge bonfire and have an early spring campfire. Awesome.

Well, since the entire premise of this movement is essentially masturbatory...

My doggie, Lola, says,”What is the big f...g deal? “

(she has no problem navigating in the dark...although it is painful for me if I step on one of her chewy bones in the dark)...I will NOT be walking in the dark...

though I do like candles.

Hey, can we predict an explosion of births 9 months later!

I’ll be celebrating by emitting as much visible light as possible (from incandescent bulbs while I still can) as well as RF energy from 1,000 watt ham radio transmitter that uses vacuum tubes. And I think I’ll spin up a few machine tool motors too.

Every light in the house is on
The backyard’s bright as the crack of dawn
The front walk looks like runway lights
It’s kinda like noon in the dead of night
Every light in the house is on
